That layout should be VERY simple to code with Divs and CSS, and I don't see anything in the "Specials" box that shouldn't be coded tableless. Tables are intended for lists of data (tabular data), not pictures and captions -_-

If you need some further convincing that tables for layout are stupid, take a look at this: http://www.hotdesign.com/seybold.

It's a great comic book-style article that gets the point across very well.
